March is the time of year when students and their parents get to celebrate Spring Break. While thousands of vacationers make their way to South Florida, plenty of Coral Gables real estate owners pick up and head out of the Sunshine State for a few days. In order to prepare for your family’s next getaway, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty invited you to discover some of the best comedies about traveling that are now available on DVD, as well as various streaming websites.
To begin, there’s one cartoon for every youngster in the family. Three years after its original release, 2008’s Madagascar Escape 2 Africa is an engaging PG pick merely for its all-star cast of voices doesn’t hurt its entertaining qualities. Ben Stiller is a lion named Alex, the “King of New York,” that experiences a plane crash in Africa. It’s authentic jungle fever when sparks fly between the David Schwimmer-voiced giraffe and Jada Pinkett Smith’s enormous hippo. Meanwhile, Chris Rock (who will be performing live at hard Rock Live next week) has a “crackalackin” identity crisis with other zebras, and Borat’s Sacha Baron Cohen is a hysterical lemur.
Well-spoken and military-precise penguins add the best humor, along with monkeys draped in tuxedos. Central Park’s tourist attractions become fish out of water in the real jungle. He may not be imitating President Donald Trump, but Alec Baldwin supplies the lines of the bad kitty antagonist that gets the crew banished from the reserve. Using their fantastic singing and dancing skills, they manage to save the entire community from mankind. After all, evil humans think lion meat tastes like chicken. Using top-notch camera angles, zooms, and rapid pans, the animated sequel is more entertaining than its predecessor. At the same time, Madagascar 2 shows kids in homes for sale in Coral Gables that love holds no boundaries.
Rather than family oriented, 2006’s R-rated Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is downright raunchy humor for adults with Coral Gables homes for sale. It gets controversial with religion and politics too. But the mocumentary’s star, Sacha Baron Cohen (Yes, the guy from Madagascar Escape 2 Africa), certainly earns spectators’ laughs.
Released the same year, the R-rated Little Miss Sunshine may be a bit dramatic, but it’s truly heart-warming. Displaying many realistic trials and tribulations of an average American family, Alan Arkin was cast in an Oscar-winning role, and Steve Carell is fabulous as a homosexual. This ain’t no Ozzie and Harriet.
Children and their folks will adore the G-rated Mr. Bean’s Holiday from 2007. Rowen Atkins is an Englishman who wins a trip to the French Riviera, along with a camcorder to record it all. The modern-day Chaplin gets himself into one hairy situation after another. Atkins’ facial expressions alone make the picture. After all, the character teaches himself to eat shellfish, street dances for spare change, steals a moving moped and dresses in drag. And as viewers in Coral Gables luxury homes learn, magical things happen when you’re making a work of art.
As a worldly Clark W. Griswold explains in 1985’s National Lampoon’s European Vacation, “The great thing about traveling is you really learn to appreciate coming home.”
